Pseudo-flavors for Remote Procedure Calls with Transport Layer Security
                draft-cel-nfsv4-rpc-tls-pseudoflavors-02

Abstract

   Recent innovations in Remote Procedure Call (RPC) transport layer
   security enable broad deployment of encryption and mutual peer
   authentication when exchanging RPC messages.  These security
   mechanisms can protect peers who continue to use the AUTH_SYS RPC
   auth flavor, which is not cryptographically secure, on open networks.
   This document introduces RPC auth pseudo-flavors that an RPC service
   can use to indicate transport layer security requirements for
   accessing that service, and a mechanism the service can use to
   enforce those requirements.

1.  Introduction

   Each RPC transaction may be associated with a user and a set of
   groups.  That transaction's RPC auth flavor determines how the user
   and groups are identified and whether they are authenticated.  Peers
   that host applications and RPC services may also be identified and
   authenicated in each RPC transaction, again depending on that
   transaction's RPC auth flavor [RFC5531].

   Not all flavors provide peer and user identification and
   authentication.  For example, the traditional RPC auth flavor
   AUTH_NONE identifies no user or group and provides no authentication
   of users or peers.  The traditional RPC auth flavor AUTH_SYS provides
   identification of peers, users, and groups, but does not provide
   authentication of any of these.

   Moreover, unlike some GSS security services, these RPC auth flavors
   provide no confidentiality or integrity checking services.  Therefore
   AUTH_NONE and AUTH_SYS are considered insecure.

   Mutual peer authentication and encryption provided at the transport
   layer can make the use of AUTH_NONE and AUTH_SYS more secure.  An RPC
   service might want to indicate to its clients that it will not allow
   access via AUTH_NONE or AUTH_SYS unless transport layer security
   services are in place.  To do that, this document specifies several
   pseudo-flavors that upper layers such as NFS [RFC8881] can use to
   enforce stronger security when unauthenticated RPC auth flavors are
   in use.

   The author expects that, in addition to RPC-with-TLS
   [I-D.ietf-nfsv4-rpc-tls], other novel RPC transports will eventually
   appear that provide similar security features.  These transports can
   benefit from the pseudo-flavors defined in this document, or this
   approach can be extended if new transport security features require
   it.

1.1.  Terminology

   This document adopts the terminology introduced in Section 3 of
   [RFC6973] and assumes a working knowledge of the Remote Procedure
   Call (RPC) version 2 protocol [RFC5531] and the Transport Layer
   Security (TLS) protocol [RFC8446].

   This document adheres to the convention that a "client" is a network
   host that actively initiates an association, and a "server" is a
   network host that passively accepts an association request.

Internet-Draft           RPC TLS Pseudo-flavors            December 2021


   For the purposes of this document, an Upper-Layer Protocol is an RPC
   Program and Version tuple comprised of a set of procedure calls
   defining a single API.  One example of a ULP is the Network File
   System Version 4.0 [RFC7530].

   An "RPC auth flavor" is a set of protocol elements that can identify
   a network peer and a user and possibly authenticate either or both.
   Section 13.4.2 of [RFC5531] explains the differences between RPC auth
   flavors and pseudo-flavors.

   RPC documentation historically refers to the authentication of a host
   as "machine authentication" or "host authentication".  TLS
   documentation refers to the same as "peer authentication".  The
   current document uses only "peer authentication".

   The term "user authentication" in the current document refers
   specifically to the RPC caller's credential provided in the "cred"
   and "verf" fields in each RPC Call.

   This document uses the term "insecure RPC auth flavor" (or "insecure
   flavor" for short) to refer to a class of RPC auth flavors which
   provide no user or peer authentication.  Two prime examples of an
   insecure RPC auth flavor are AUTH_NONE and AUTH_SYS.

2.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

3.  RPC Auth Pseudo-flavors for Transport Layer Security

   Section 4 of [I-D.ietf-nfsv4-rpc-tls] introduces a special RPC auth
   flavor known as AUTH_TLS.  This RPC auth flavor is used only in a
   NULL procedure that probes the presence of support for RPC-with-TLS,
   and acts as a STARTTLS barrier.

   This auth flavor does not carry the identity of the peer or a user.
   RPC clients do not use this RPC auth flavor to authenticate users in
   RPC Calls for non-NULL RPC procedures.

   Once transport layer security has been established between two RPC
   peers, an RPC client can use insecure flavors when forming RPC Calls
   with knowledge that the RPC server is known and trusted, and without
   concern that the communication can be altered or monitored.

   In some cases an RPC service might want to restrict access to only
   clients that have authenticated, or perhaps only when encryption
   protects communication.  The pseudo-flavors defined below enable RPC-
   based services to indicate and enforce access restrictions of this
   type.

3.1.  Definitions of New Pseudo-flavors

   This document specifies several pseudo-flavors that servers may
   advertise to clients via mechanisms not defined here.  Using the RPC
   auth flavor registry instantiated in [RFC5531] gives us leeway to
   introduce a narrow basic set of pseudoflavors in this document and
   then expand them, via additional documents, as needs arise.

   RPC clients continue to use AUTH_NONE (0) or AUTH_SYS (1) in
   individual transactions while the network transport service provides
   cryptographically secure authentication or encryption, as follows:

   *  The new pseudo-flavor AUTH_NONE_MPA indicates that the client may
      use the AUTH_NONE RPC auth flavor only if both peers have mutually
      authenticated.  Encryption of traffic between these peers is not
      required.

   *  The new pseudo-flavor AUTH_NONE_ENC indicates that the client may
      use the AUTH_NONE RPC auth flavor only if traffic between these
      peers is encrypted.  Mutual peer authentication is not required.

   *  The new pseudo-flavor AUTH_NONE_MPA_ENC indicates that the client
      may use the AUTH_NONE RPC auth flavor only if both peers have
      mutually authenticated and traffic between these peers is
      encrypted.

   *  The new pseudo-flavor AUTH_SYS_MPA indicates that the client may
      use the AUTH_SYS RPC auth flavor only if both peers have mutually
      authenticated.  Encryption of traffic between these peers is not
      required.

   *  The new pseudo-flavor AUTH_SYS_ENC indicates that the client may
      use the AUTH_SYS RPC auth flavor only if traffic between these
      peers is encrypted.  Mutual peer authentication is not required.

   *  The new pseudo-flavor AUTH_SYS_MPA_ENC indicates that the client
      may use the AUTH_SYS RPC auth flavor only if both peers have
      mutually authenticated and traffic between these peers is
      encrypted.

Internet-Draft           RPC TLS Pseudo-flavors            December 2021


   Because the RPC layer is not aware of pseudo-flavors, the Upper-Layer
   Protocol is responsible for ensuring that appropriate transport layer
   security is in place when clients use AUTH_SYS or AUTH_NONE.  The
   next section explains how server implementations enforce the use of
   transport layer security.

4.  Channel Binding

   Certain aspects of transport layer security are not new.  A
   deployment might choose to run NFS on a virtual private network
   established via an ssh tunnel or over IPsec, for example.  The
   Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API)
   specification [RFC2743] recognized the use of security provided by
   transport services underlying GSS with the introduction of channel
   binding.  [RFC5056] further describes channel binding as a concept
   that...

      ...allows applications to establish that the two end-points of a
      secure channel at one network layer are the same as at a higher
      layer by binding authentication at the higher layer to the channel
      at the lower layer.  This allows applications to delegate session
      protection to lower layers, which has various performance
      benefits.

   We are particularly interested in ensuring that the mutual
   authentication done during a TLS handshake (most recently specified
   in [RFC8446]) on a transport service that handles RPC traffic can be
   recognized and used by Upper-Layer Protocols for securely
   authenticating the communicating RPC peers.

   Section 7 of [RFC5929] identifies a set of API characteristics that
   RPC and its underlying transport provide to such protocols.

4.1.  TLS Channel Binding

   [RFC5929] defines several TLS channel binding types that Upper-Layer
   Protocol implementations can use to determine whether appropriate
   security is in place to protect RPC transactions that continue to use
   insecure RPC auth flavors such as AUTH_SYS.

   When used with a Certificate handshake message, the 'tls-server-end-
   point' channel binding type as defined in Section 4 of [RFC5929]
   serves as authentication for securing pseudo-flavors that require
   mutual peer authentication.

   RPC-with-TLS requires the use of TLS session encryption
   [I-D.ietf-nfsv4-rpc-tls].  The presence of TLS under an RPC transport
   is enough to secure pseudo-flavors that require encryption.  A peer

Internet-Draft           RPC TLS Pseudo-flavors            December 2021


   can use channel binding to determine whether peer authentication has
   also occurred and whether that authentication was mutual or server-
   only.

   Moreover, in the particular case of TLS, when a handshake fails, both
   peers are made aware of the failure reason via the Finished message.
   The failure reason can then be reported to the Upper-Layer Protocol
   so the local administrator can take specific corrective action.

   For instance, an RPC server's local security policy might require
   that the RPC client's IP address or hostname match its certificates
   Subject Alt Name (SAN).  This is not always possible if the client's
   IP address and hostname are assigned dynamically.  When such a server
   causes a handshake failure, administrators can be made aware that the
   server's SAN policy restricted a client's access, and corrective
   action can then be taken.

4.2.  SSHv2 Channel Binding

   When RPC traverses an SSHv2 tunnel established between an RPC server
   and an RPC client, the 'tls-unique' channel binding type as defined
   in Section 3 of [RFC5929] can be used to authenticate peer endpoints
   and provide appropriate confidentiality.

4.3.  Channel Binding for RDMA Transports

   As of this writing, RPC-over-RDMA [RFC8166] does not provide a
   transport layer security service.  However, Section 5 of [RFC5056]
   suggests a mechanism by which channel binding can protect RDDP
   [RFC5040], the protocol that handles remote direct data placement for
   the iWARP family of protocols.  The transport layer underlying RDDP
   might use IPsec [RFC6071], TLS [RFC8446], or Encapsulating Security
   Payload (ESP) [RFC4303].

5.  NFS Examples

   This section presents examples of how a commonly-used Upper-Layer
   Protocol (NFS) can make use of these pseudo-flavors.

5.1.  Network File System Versions 2 and 3

   NFSv3 clients use the MNT procedure, defined in Appendix I of
   [RFC1813], to discover which RPC auth flavors may be used to access a
   particular shared NFSv3 filesystem.

Internet-Draft           RPC TLS Pseudo-flavors            December 2021


   To require NFSv3 clients to employ underlying transport security when
   using AUTH_NONE or AUTH_SYS, the NFS server includes one or more of
   the new pseudo-flavors defined in Section 8 in the auth_flavors list
   that is part of a MNT response.

   When determining whether a filehandle-bearing operation is
   authorized, an NFSv3 server uses channel binding to ensure that
   appropriate transport layer security is in place before processing an
   incoming NFS request that uses an insecure RPC auth flavor.  If that
   request is not authorized, the NFSv3 server can respond with an
   nfs_stat of NFS3ERR_STALE.

   The usage of the MNT procedure as described in [RFC1094] is the same
   with the exception that an NFSv2 server responds with NFSERR_STALE
   instead of NFS3ERR_STALE.

5.2.  Network File System Version 4

   NFSv4 clients use the SECINFO or SECINFO_NO_NAME procedures, as
   defined in [RFC8881], to discover which RPC auth flavors may be used
   to access a particular shared NFSv4 filesystem.

   To require NFSv4 clients to employ underlying transport security when
   using AUTH_NONE or AUTH_SYS, the NFS server includes one or more of
   the new pseudo-flavors defined in Section 8 in the SECINFO4resok list
   that is part of a SECINFO or SECINFO_NO_NAME response.

   When determining whether a filehandle-bearing operation is
   authorized, an NFSv4 server uses channel binding to ensure that
   appropriate transport layer security is in place before processing an
   incoming NFSv4 COMPOUND that uses an insecure RPC auth flavor.  If
   that request is not authorized, the NFSv4 server terminates the
   COMPOUND with a status code of NFS4ERR_WRONGSEC.

5.2.1.  NFSv4 State Protection

   Note: This section updates RFC 8881.

      |  An alternate approach might place the updates described in this
      |  section in rfc5661bis.

   Section 2.4.3 of [RFC8881] explains how an NFSv4 server determines
   when an NFSv4 client is authorized to create a new lease or replace a
   previous one.  This mechanism prevents clients from maliciously or
   unintentionally wiping open and lock state for another client.
   Section 2.10.8.3 of that document further specifies how the server
   responds to unauthorized state changes.

   When used with a Certificate handshake message, the 'tls-server-end-
   point' channel binding type as defined in Section 4 of [RFC5929] can
   provide protection similar to SP4_MACH_CRED.

   This document modifies the text of the first bullet in Section 2.4.3
   of [RFC8881] to include the use of transport layer security as
   follows:

   *  The principal that created the client ID for the client owner is
      the same as the principal that is sending the EXCHANGE_ID
      operation.  Note that if the client ID was created with
      SP4_MACH_CRED state protection (Section 18.35), either:

      -  The principal MUST be based on RPCSEC_GSS authentication, the
         RPCSEC_GSS service used MUST be integrity or privacy, and the
         same GSS mechanism and principal MUST be used as that used when
         the client ID was created.  Or,

      -  The principal MUST be based on AUTH_SYS, and the server MUST
         use channel binding to verify the identity of the client peer
         when performing any of the operations specified in the
         spa_mach_ops bitmaps.  Or,

      -  The principal MUST be based on AUTH_NONE, and the server MUST
         use channel binding to verify the identity of the client peer
         when performing any of the operations specified in the
         spa_mach_ops bitmaps.

   Subsequent discussion of SP4_MACH_CRED in [RFC8881] in Sections
   2.10.5.1, 2.10.8.3, and 2.10.11.3 would need similar adjustments.

   Further, NFSv4 server implementations may implement a security policy
   that restricts the set of clients or security flavors that can
   establish a lease via SETCLIENTID or EXCHANGE_ID.  However, [RFC8881]
   does not allow EXCHANGE_ID or CREATE_SESSION to return
   NFS4ERR_WRONGSEC, and [RFC7530] does not allow SETCLIENTID to return
   NFS4ERR_WRONGSEC.

   NFSv4.1-based protocols might be updated to allow EXCHANGE_ID or
   CREATE_SESSION to return NFS4ERR_WRONG_CRED.  However, that solution
   would be challenging for NFSv4.0, which does not have a definition
   for NFS4ERR_WRONG_CRED.

      |  More discussion is necessary to determine the exact mechanism
      |  to handle this case in both protocols and to determine which
      |  documents need to specify that mechanism.

6.  Implementation Status

      |  This section is to be removed before publishing this document
      |  as an RFC.

   This section records the status of known implementations of the
   protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this
   Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in [RFC7942].
   The description of implementations in this section is intended to
   assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing drafts to
   RFCs.

   Please note that the listing of any individual implementation here
   does not imply endorsement by the IETF.  Furthermore, no effort has
   been spent to verify the information presented here that was supplied
   by IETF contributors.  This is not intended as, and must not be
   construed to be, a catalog of available implementations or their
   features.  Readers are advised to note that other implementations may
   exist.

   There are currently no known implementations of the new RPC pseudo-
   flavors requested by this document.

7.  Security Considerations

   Discussion of shortcomings peculiar to the AUTH_SYS RPC auth flavor
   appears in the final paragraph of Appendix A of [RFC5531] and in
   Appendix A of [I-D.ietf-nfsv4-rpc-tls].

   When implementing or deploying transport layer security to protect an
   upper-level RPC protocol:

   *  RPC clients that support transport layer security SHOULD use it
      whenever possible.  Typically the only reason not to is when
      performance is important and reasonable security can be provided
      in some other way.

   *  RPC clients that support transport layer security and have the
      ability to authenticate SHOULD do so.  The only reason not to
      authenticate is when authentication and encryption can only be
      enabled together, performance is paramount, and there are other
      available mechanisms that can provide peer authentication
      securely.

   The pseudo-flavors defined in this document enable RPC servers to
   indicate required levels of security so that RPC clients can make
   informed and autonomous decisions that balance performance and
   scalability against security needs.

   Important security considerations specific to the use of channel
   binding are discussed throughout [RFC5056] and in Section 10 of
   [RFC5929].

8.  IANA Considerations

8.1.  New RPC Auth Flavors

   Following Appendix B of [RFC5531], this document requests several new
   entries in the RPC Authentication Flavor Numbers
   (https://www.iana.org/assignments/rpc-authentication-numbers/rpc-

   flavors is to indicate the use of transport layer encryption or
   mutual peer authentication with insecure RPC auth flavors.  All new
   flavors described in the sections below are pseudo-flavors.

8.2.  Pseudo-flavors for Secure AUTH_NONE

   The fields in the new entries are assigned as follows:
